Naher Osten: Nach Angriff auf Riad – Saudi-Arabien greift offenbar Flughafen Sanaa an
Saudische Angriffe sollen laut Huthi-Miliz den Flughafen von Sanaa getroffen haben. Es scheint eine direkte Reaktion zu sein auf den jüngsten Angriff in Riad mit zwölf Toten.
Following the attack on Saudi Arabia's international airport in Riyadh, it appears that Saudi Arabia has carried out an airstrike on Sanaa's airport in Yemen. This is reportedly a direct retaliation for the incident in Riyadh. Saudi fighter jets are said to have bombed the airport, according to Saba, the news agency controlled by the Houthi rebels who are in charge of Yemen.
No information about casualties or damage was initially released. Saudi Arabia initially made no comment on the attack. In the Riyadh assault, at least twelve people were killed and over 300 more were wounded, making it the highest death toll from an attack on the US-allied Gulf state since the Iran war began at the end of February.
Riyadh blamed the Houthi militia for the attack, warning of further threats from the group. Videos circulating on social media purportedly show scenes after the attack, including a destroyed airport terminal and people rushing through dense smoke to safety. The authenticity of the videos could not be verified.
